The one born in u.k (ENG CHURCH) was in the workhouse, so probably no parents around to ask where born . KIM

Hi Jeniene On Ancestry 1901 census the only 4 year old Herbert Osborne living in Alkham, Kent, was born Hailsham, Sussex, and his parents were Charles and Alice. Charles was a brickmaker. Don't know if this is your Herbert or not, but I'll save the image just in case it is and if you'd like to have it just email me. Kath Just noticed Charles comes from Essex

I don't suppose that is what the original says, that is just the transcriber's version. It's probably something that ends in -church, like Whitchurch, or Church Stretton. Do you have any idea where he was born?
